The beauty of his crosses, butterflies and other designs made from sheets of plain steel, is truly beyond comprehension. David acknowledges and gives all the credit to God for his talent and abilities. David is passionate about sharing the gospel of Christ Jesus through his art and shares the gospel with anyone and everyone who will listen.

As a 26 year old newlywed, Katie Forsythe found that the trajectory she had planned for her life was about to take a very different path when she was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma a childhood cancer, rarely found in adults. Katie's story is filled with wisdom and powerful insights into God's love and faithfulness.
During this journey with her husband Zane by her side, Katie mentioned the Ebenezers – remembers of the ways in which the Lord had helped them even before they knew they were in need. We all need Ebenezer stones in our lives, to remind us of God’s faithfulness.
Our hope is that the stories we bring you through our podcast will be Ebenezers for you all, continual reminders of God’s ever present help and reminders of all the wonders God has and is continuing to perform.

Project-44 began as its founder Ben Fields, an auto mechanic, was questioning his role in the world, and more specifically, the church. He felt he was not helping the community the way the church ought to be.
It was during that time that someone gave Ben a vehicle and suggested he fix it up and give it to someone in need. A car ministry was born and took on the name Project-44, named after the 44th book of the Bible: Acts.
Project-44 has become a multi-faceted ministry including:
Counseling ministry: providing affordable counseling to those in need that cannot typically pay for the counseling themselves.
Liberian trade school: currently building a trade school in war-torn Liberia on a 150 acre plot of land.
Family 2 Family: providing boxes of food to those in need.
Outreach group: conducting minor home repairs to those in need.
Project-44’s mission is to go beyond the four walls of a church and help those in need where they need it. Focusing on ministries to help the local community.
